Can I suggest giving Caddy a go? I used to do everything with nginx but as soon as I found caddy I haven't looked back.
Quiver was absolutely indispensable when I did a category theory course a few years ago. The UI was clean, intuitive, and featureful. Compared to banging one's head against Tikz, it's absolutely no contest.
Sure, but you’re disconnecting from the things that other people use, you’ll become a social outcast as a result. I’d that’s something you’re personally okay with that’s fine, but humans generally want to fit in and be part of a society of likeminded peers.

Strong engineers have a high degree of plasticity but fail suddenly. Weak engineers can be made strong by arranging them in groups but you need to watch your points of tension and compression, using tools like finite element analysis.

Testing strong engineers to destruction in a lab should only be carried out by competent materials scientists.
Odd how a hundred other applications have no issues whatsoever then.

This Portal is something from flatpak btw, no other terminal depends on it.

This is likely some cancer from GTK that metastasized, anything using GTK has to lock it down tight to rely on the absolute minimum of "features".
I remember reading The Rational Optimist by Matt Ridley, and I think there was a section on trade.

Basically he said that society progresses when there is trade, and trade only really takes off when there is trust.

It might be morality that is the underpinning of trust.
It would help if someone could tell what's wrong in my reply.
I visited a friend in Zurich recently who has such a bunker in their house. ( now a wine cellar)

Surely this was before nukes? After reading “nuclear war: a scenario”, I’m really not sure there’s much use surviving the initial blast anyway.
Heh, that's super interesting. Thanks for the info and the pointer.

As I said, I haven't seen any actual responses here -- only non-response "responses". So are you saying they gave any different ones there? If so, where, specifically? Or if you're claiming any of the ones here are non-empty, which one(s)?
> I can confidently claim that upstream has better policies.

Debian has thousands of different upstream, you don't even know who they are, how can you claim to know their policies and to have evaluated all of them?

Also, all the 1 person projects do not get fixes in a timely manner. As you would understand if there was any amount of reasoning behind your arguments.

Are you done making stuff up or must you continue?

hey, i quite like it
but answering a quiz and then it generating an explaination is kind of distracting, i suggest a mode for it to create a quiz with collectively 10-20 questions, after which it shows which were correct and which were false and only generates an explaination when asked or when we click some explain button

again great site!!!
Cool to see that NetBSD still runs on this hardware. Linux has become so bloated that it wouldn't stand a chance. On 71 MB of RAM one can do (with a little care) a lot of things.

Latest news is that ScyllaDB is moving to a source available license. They decided to focus on a single release stream — ScyllaDB Enterprise starting from February 2025.
To beat this dead horse some more, I *had* clicked the link (how else would I know it was Silvia Hao's version that had been submitted?) and *had* read the username of the commenter of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42506146. What I had *not* read was the username of the submitter, and thus did not realize the commenter and submitter were the same person, which recontextualizes the comment in question from "Personally my favorite version is Silvia Hao's that can be found in this discussion thread" to "This image that I submitted is by Silvia Hao and can be found in this discussion thread".
What are your api costs from publicly serving this if you don’t mind sharing (especially from HN traffic)?

I have some ideas I’d like to release, but LLM api pricing and sudden traffic from sites like this one seem scary.
Scale invariance is well motivated in the sense that perhaps you already normalized your data (usually to fit [-1, 1] or something) and you would be bummed to discover it fucked up your clusters

Or likewise: if you have physical data recorded in some units (say, meters), it would suck if the clusters changed if you had measured stuff in another unit instead
Not that good IMHO.

I asked it:

It only identified seven of them when there are many more:

FWIW, I'm "extroverted" in the terms used in this thread, but I'm also all of these: mathemetician, farmer, scientist. We can work on monk or priest but those might be mutually exclusive!

I am an introvert and I can (and if necessary will) take over the microphone and address a room with 500 people in it. I might even enjoy that a little.

What makes me an introvert isn't that I am shy (I am not), what makes me an introvert is that I find all interaction with other people except a select few exhausting and draining. Don't get me wrong: That doesn't mean I am weird or bad at talking with people — in fact I am quite the opposite. It just means it costs me a lot of energy, while extroverts appear to lose energy when they are alone, I lose it when there is a certain kind of social interaction needed around me.

So people don't really see me as an introvert, because to them it is all about being shy and a little bit awkward. But that isn't what makes you an introvert, the energy part is.
I would suggest taking a look at Phlex (https://www.phlex.fun/). This kind of ruby maximalism is very pleasing to the dev process. For the interaction I'm using hotwire and stimulus. Been using pure Phlex views in production for 2 years now. I wrote Protos (https://github.com/inhouse-work/protos) which is built on top of Phlex and adds a bunch of quality of life features I wanted.
Everything is a hierarchy, even the tags in your mind do belong under some tree/node like imagination. Tag is essentially just what you described "duplicates or symlinks or whatever."

- you can buy a house for cash no questions asked (not 100% sure if this changed in 2006 or not with AML/CTF Act and whether or not real estate agents are bound by it or if they have found a way to ignore it in practice).

- politicians can declare no interest in property, but have their (declared) trust take care of (undeclared) property matters for them.

- one or two monopoly real estate aggregator services dominate the industry (one of them owned by murdoch - and frankly anything that guy has a hand in is trash, [3] https://www.crikey.com.au/2023/08/30/murdoch-century-many-wa...)

whole industry looks corrupt, hence my largely negative and aggravated response to anything regarding real estate.

perhaps you are correct.

that supply and demand is the simple formula for determining prices, but if that is the case, there is no incentive to remove barriers on supply. everyone with an interest in the industry is invested in having prices go up indefinitely.

i dont know why people continue with simplistic debates about one or two issues without looking at the larger picture. sure supply and demand. yay. costs of materials and labour. yay. no one wants to look at market manipulation, when its quite possible and in fact likely that is an issue as well. which brings me back to my OP, which i stated in fewer words but you triggered me into writing all this extra crap.

The target is Estonia. Putin should have them in his sights for sentimental reasons as one of the first "break-away" republics from the former Soviet Union. Additionally this could be seen as punitive some the Nordic countries have sided with NATO against Russia since Ukraine.
Pfft, don’t be so pessimistic - we’d have lots of people making each other miserable in our Kowloon walled city/Judge Dredd like authoritarian dystopias.
I don't have the pro plan, so can anyone compare it to the results from the new Google models with huge context windows (available in aistudio)? I was playing around with them and they were able to consume some medium (even large by some standards) code bases completely and offer me diffs for changes I wanted to implement - not the most successful ones but good attempts.

You should check out the HyWiki part of the Emacs Hyperbole hypertext package available from melpa or elpa-devel. It utilizes Org mode for notes and WikiWords to automatically interlink them as you type. The WikiWords work in any kind of text buffer as well, even in programming file comments. It even lets you link to many other kinds of Emacs entities like bookmarks, Org IDs and headings, etc. One command to build a web-based wiki. With a little practice, it might amaze you.
Socializing is always draining. It's a physical fact that it simply takes a huge amount of energy to engage with other people, no matter what you think your personality type is. Dealing with socialization is a big part of why we have these huge energy-intensive brains.

I think the discussion here suggests it's an issue of perspective. Is socialization a fact of life, or is it something you are allowed to opt out of?

It's okay to be tired. A day that leaves you exhausted should be celebrated and followed up with rest to prepare for the next day!

This sounds naive. Most companies have some degree of 'politics' which is essentially people working in their own interests over the company's. This is somewhat unrelated to skills and value.

Also particularly in large organisations, work is not a perfect information game - there is no easy way to assign a fair / public a "value" to people to let you compare two employees. Most people will need to sell themselves or have other people sell them to get noticed, and some degree of social bonding can go a long way with this.
Oh, very interesting! Thanks for the suggestion! This is indeed a more elegant approach! However, I do have some concerns about introducing an additional dependency. My main goal was to create something that would be maximally simplified. Nevertheless, I'll test how it would work with the template feature - at first glance, it really looks like a better solution and I'll definitely try it!

Interesting, is it the selector specifity that's the only problem or something else as well?
My reflective, dismissive answer is “because it was fashionable”. But that’s not a good or satisfying answer.

Today we see a lot of celebrities write children’s books even though they have no real pedigree to do so.

Maybe they think it’s easier than “a real book”? Or maybe they think it’ll actually get read? Or maybe it holds a different level of street credibility? Or does it feel like a way to influence a generation?

Which makes me circle back and ask, why children’s books?

Ada is deprecated: use the text embedding models instead.

It depends on whether you do full text search, or abstract only. If you do full text, I’d guess about 1k tokens per page, 10 pages per paper? So that would be 3B tokens, which would cost you 60$ if you use the cheapest embedder.

If you just do abstracts, the costs will be negligible.
Are you not generalising in the same way? Because you are introverted and successful, does that mean extroversion is bad advice for all?
Prey was so good, really entertaining read.

I think that we are a long way from this level of nanobots - we don’t even have a regular robot that is somewhat self sustaining (e.g. charges itself with solar power) - so we probably won’t need to lose hair over this anytime soon…

I'm seeing a fundamental misunderstanding in both the article and a lot of the comments here, that to me seems closely related to the "some people have no inner voice" / "some people can't visualize things" findings: People making the assumption that how you act defines whether you're an introvert or an extrovert because only the external expression exists, not the internal state. And so all their examples reveal they think introvert/extrovert refer to how social a person is in the moment, instead of what it actually is - a measure of how draining (or not) social interactions are.

You really can't tell if someone is an introvert or extrovert in one instance in a setting, only in what happens later - it's totally possible to be a social introvert, for example, it just means you need alone time later to recharge before you can go again. When not given a chance to recharge it can come off in various ways depending on the person - often people describe it as getting tired, I've also seen snippiness, and I tend to get a headache.
Even the closed-system solution pose problems. I think it didn't get much airtime, but when Chrome switched their approach to save passwords, a lot of users lost access to their accounts. A case where a feature wasn't sensibly discontinued.

The workaround now isn't using passkeys, something few people understand. Instead most seem to be migrating to an external password managers. Honestly, I don't have many arguments against this as these at least generate save passwords. There are many advantages to this approach.

I believe moving forward, sticking to passwords might indeed be more viable. I think explaining users to upload their public ssl key is safer and more universal at this point.

Off-topic, but have you noticed the website has a screensaver? I find it a nice touch.
In the same kind of vein: I was recently very impressed by this pretri net editor https://pes.vsb.cz/petrineteditor/#/model

Petri nets are cool. They’re sort of like if finite state machines could be multithreaded.

I first found out about petri nets when reading the writings of an organization called “statebox”. Statebox was interested in petri nets and commutative diagrams (as well as many other category theory concepts). I read some of their papers, was entranced, and it became my dream to work there. Unfortunately their homepage now is just the text “imagine being a category theorist” with a laughing-crying emoji, so I have no idea what happened to them.
I was actually looking at it from a different business model perspective. There are some APIs that do both print and ship in various formats but there is definitely a markup on top. Aggregating printers that are digital enough is quite a challenge of its own though :)
But in almost all cases that doesn't make any sense? Typically the data in different dimensions will have different "units". So there isn't any meaning in the scale in the first place. How could scaling by a single scalar be "more natural"?
If it's logistics and resources and tax management, why doesn't it apply between cities?

While the paragraph is somewhat vague I would interpret it as fine-tuning both BERT and ModernBERT based on the one before it.

> Fine-tuning answerdotai/ModernBERT-base on ~15,000 synthetic prompts for 5 epochs took 321 seconds and our best model achieved a f1 score of 0.993. I also ran the training with bert-base-uncased to compare the training time and performance. The original BERT achieved a f1 score of 0.99 and took 1048 seconds to train.
I don't know. For a start, a working bureaucracy would tell you that you must use the term “recommended practices” instead.
I'm not convinced introverts and extroverts even exist. All people have a need for company and a need for solitude. Depending on how well each of these needs is satisfied you may feel one or the other way. Most of the time I see people describe themselves as introverts they are describing shyness or social anxiety.
I use password as main auth method for everything (via a pw manager) - but then I often add passkey or similar for convenience.
If I get locked out I still have the trad method as fallback; for me that’s the best of both worlds.

If you don’t offer password as method I will not use your service.
The worst are those that only offer code via email/sms or social login - miss me with that …

- How to Win Friends and Influence People - Dave Carnegie (a lot of the techniques are very, very dated and transparent when used today... but it's pretty foundational and worth a glance anyway)

And they will eventually learn that it's easier to share with the public at large than with a neighboring department.

At least that's my experience in a commercial setting: it's easier to publish something without restriction than to share it with a specific hardware or software partner only. The latter creates all kinds of questions around neutrality, applicability of NDAs, licensing, and so on.
